New Moms Share the Batsh*t Crazy Things Their Mothers-in-Law Did After Becoming Grandmas

Navigating time with mothers-in-law can be a tricky dynamic, no matter how much you love your partner or want to have a good relationship with their parents. Even for those who got along perfectly fine before a grandchild was in the picture, it seems to be an unwritten rule that as soon as a baby bump is in play, it's like an invitation for some to kick their overbearing tendencies up a notch (or three). After one MIL went into seriously "intimate detail" with her DIL about things her husband made her do while pregnant, this anonymous mom asked others on the website What to Expect to share the first crazy thing their partners' moms did after becoming grandmas. Not only are the responses seriously infuriating, but many are also completely relatable -- and explain why so many in-laws get a bad rap.

This MIL took the 2-week-old to visit friends -- without mom's permission.
